Repost your first Escapist post!

[Arakasi]

I think I'll play a homeless stranger, smiting evil-doers and dragons alike...

That's one hell of a first post.

 

[mysecondlife]

How appropriate.. I got the badge thingy for making a post in 12 different months. Has it almost been a year already?

My first post is in the topic of "Favorite Anime Villain"

I don't watch a lot of anime, so not a lot to choose from.

I choose Light from Death Note. ...more like an anti-villain I suppose.

(First post. Hello Escapists!)

 

[Pat8u]

What about Minecraft their is a very big modding community for that

to the thread modding is dying also yes I notice the grammer mistake it should be there and not their, I was tired.
and I might add my amazing ability at stopping threads is so crazy I did it on my first post.

Hello Escapist members in general. So I've finally got the courage to join the site (a big deal for me,it's the first time I've joined any site) as it's got such a good/friendly forum.

I'm naturally shy when dealing with people I don't know so I've held off from joining. While this probably isn't uncommon, I've been a daily visitor to the forums for the last 18 MONTHS. I first found the escapest 4 months earlier through the zero punctuation videos.

So I ask you, how long after you found the site did you actually join? Has anyone seriously taken longer than me to join?

My first post was also my first and only thread, where I asked the question "How long was it for you between finding the escapist and joining?"

 

[Pinkamena]

Topic: Who on the escapist would you want to have a drink with?

Graham or Kathleen. They both seem like fun people that I'd get along with.

My "real" first post was in the pony usergroup though.

I have 30 piercings, they've built up over 8ish years (I'm 20)

I have 20 in my ears, 4 lips, 2 nose, 1 tounge, 1 eyebrow, 1 serptum and 1 smiley.

It sounds a lot I know, but it doesn't even look "extreme"

Obviously a piercing thread.

Let see-
Back in my day everyone go into McDonald without giving a danm about their health amd the burgers were in plastic packaging (they replace it with cardboard since that type of plastic didn't decompose.
Back in my day McDonald Happy Meal used to contain chicken nuggests, chips, a soda and a toy not replacing it with fruits and health drink.
Back in my day Disney XD was called Jetix (in some country)but it was called Fox Kid before calling it Jetix but it original name was called Fox Kid Network.
Back in my day there was a program block called Toonami and it was awesome.
Back in my day children programs were only cartoons and good one as well.
Back in my day the tv used to have cartoon ceral adverts that promote new toys in the ceral (stupid new tv rules).
Back in my day a game magazine sometime come with a cheat book which contain tons of game cheat and passwords in alphabet orders.

It was pretty much one of those "Back in my day" thread.

No FF13 is NOT a game to leave your series at because it took me twenty fucking hours of gaming to get to point that is enjoyable (and it wasn't), which is unknown to me because every FF I've played had me hooked in 5 mins EVEN 12 I loved twelve and if they stop the series at 13 and the new online one I'm gonna be super pissed and never buy another SE product ever again

And I still stand by this statement.

 

[ZehMadScientist]

Hmmm a useless fact eh? Ok here goes:

Apple is worth more than Belgium

Posted in a 'Post some useless facts' thread. As for the fact itself, it is fairly useless to know, and I don't even know if it's true.

 

[Angry Camel]

Nicely... hmm well you could just ignore her if shes looking for attention, or offer her help with her yard and stuff like that. Could just say "Sorry, but this is my property and I'm acting within the constraints of the law".

Not nicely, it would be much simpler

Helping a guy who had an old lady harrassing him for supposedly not renovating his garage legally. What an exciting start to my forum life.

 

[Jonluw]

I do hate The melancholy of what's her face and Lucky Star

WHAT. How could you!?

Haruhi is god.

Uhm, I wasn't very partial to the first episode of Yu-Yu-Hakusho but as I got more into it, I really started to appreciate it more.

How could I? Simple...It's very popular and I've never seen it. So my friend loaned me the dvd and told me to watch it in Japanese.It was awful. The english dub was very good and much better to endure than the japanese dub but the show was awful. And the reason I'm starting hate anime because of it.

Seeing how you watched the DVD, I assume you watched the episodes in the DVD order ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_The_Melancholy_of_Haruhi_Suzumiya_episodes ), and I can't help but think this is part of the reason why you did not like the series. I really enjoyed the series, but I watched the episodes in the non-linear broadcast order.
Of course there is the possibility that you just don't like that kind of anime.

This gives me an interesting idea, though. I think I will go create a poll to see if the order in which you watch the episodes is relevant to whether you like the series or not.

On topic: I think Lucky star would be a bad 'first' anime, as it seems you have to already be a part of the anime crowd to get it.

Ahh, I miss Aylaine.

 

[CrazyGirl17]

Hm... I guess it all depends...

Sure, it would be lots of fun to shoot lighting from my hands (especially at people who bug me), but then I wouldn't be able to swim or stand in the rain or even take a shower for the rest of my life (Though if I could pick my power, then I'd go the shape-shifting route).

And there's the whole matter of killing thousands just to activate it that makes the choice difficult. I'd probably gather enough criminals and other sociopaths and activate it there.

My first post was asking what you would do if they could get powers ala inFAMOUS.

...And of course, I misunderstood the question, and thought it meant getting the same powers as Cole.

(And for the record, if I could pick a power, I'd go with shape-shifting)

From "Poll: Stop it with the zombies!":

super intelligent apes would be awesome

I was going to say vampires but I'm changing it to this. Apes are awesome.

I still stand by my statement. Apes are indeed awesome.

 

[JoJo]

A guarantee that sometime in my life I will...

1) Have a interesting and hot wife.

2) Have a perfect little daughter.

3) Get my idea for a film made into a real movie!

From March 2010 on the thread "So a Genie appears and grants you three wishes...". I certainly stand by the first two, though I might modify the last one since I came to realise soon after that post that the particular idea I had for a film was actually pretty sucky.

Talking about Tim Burton when alice was just coming out.

I'd have to agree with you guys. Stop this maniac before he barfs Stupid all over something else.

For the Horde! Once you go troll, you never reroll!

Ha! I'm gonna start quoting that in real life. I can't believe I've never heard it before this. But that's just me. I'm usually lurking on YouTube or Twitter. :L

Ahaha, I'm not even a huge WoW fan. I haven't played it since I bought the full version a few months ago. I just don't understand how people can get so addicted to it.

 

[BlackStar42]

I've been lurking on these forums for a few months now, and I've been impressed by the friendly people on here, so I need to ask: what's a good router to have? I know this isn't exactly game related, but I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me out.

Wow, I can't even remember posting that...

 

[DJDarque]

Here's just a few:

Anything creepy that materializes out of nothing to just eerily walk across the screen, such as the little girl from F.E.A.R. from time to time.

The first Houdini Splicer you come across in Bioshock. You see his shadow around a corner then it's gone and when you go investigate his little alter he pops up behind you then just disappears.

Wallmasters and Floormasters in Ocarina of Time.

INVISIBLE ENEMIES

You missed a couple of little details.

Cheating in obnoxiously restrictive games can actually improve the experience. Let's use Fallout New Vegas as an example:

Obsidian decreed that you can't hike up that mountain because they were too lazy to bake the terrain properly, so using a little something called Toggle Collision you can actually climb up that hill to get the vantage point on the Legionnaires bellow, or even to escape from an annoying bug, which all Bethesda based games seem to have which is little depressions with incorrect collision detectors, which leave you stuck, the only chance would be to reload and we all know how frustrating it is to reload when the nearest save was 20mins ago at the start of Über Dungeon of Effing Hardship, or you could simply use the "cheat" to remove yourself from such hole and disable it as soon as you're out.

Infinite Dreams by Iron Maiden, I think the beginning of that song is sensual.
